You're like an angel with no wings.
Prompt A: Serious Event
In each trip a character makes from their room, they will have one random encounter with a monster (or monsters) that will attack them. Fight, team up with others, run away if you think you can, but there are monsters. Everywhere.
Prompt B: Lighter Event
The mansion is gone and now we're all camping! Women on one side of the camp and men on the other with a large picnic area in between. It's like summer camp except there are no counselors. You are in charge of making your own food and fun. If you wander too far out in the woods, you'll just get lost and wind up at the campsite again. Make s'mores! Tell spooky stories! Have fun!
Prompt C: ediS rorriM
Peace has been restored to the mirror side with the White Queen ruling, but she does have a request: get to know one another, dear mirrors. She's hosting a 1990s dance party and you're all invited. Jam out to Spice Girls and mingle.
Prompt D: Choices
Any scenario goes! Thread out your character's arrival, have them act like a long-established resident, let our past events inspire your scene, or write up literally any Wonderland-based scenario you feel like playing with.
Rules
Test drive memes go up every other month. Please note that any threads made as part of the test drive meme don't count towards your activity check, and they can't be used as samples for any future applications. Thank you for understanding, and have fun!

April Ludgate | Parks and Rec
[It's not too hard to figure out that people weren't kidding about this place being sort of dangerous when April leaves her room to go check things out for herself and... promptly regrets it. When she turns the corner, she comes face to face with an oversized rat that kind of seems to want to... eat her? Her eyes go wide, and she lets out a startled scream.]
Holy crap!
[Could just be her imagination, but she doesn't stick around long enough to find out, running as fast as she can back to her room, slamming the door behind her.]
Cool... note to self... bloodthirsty rodents.
[A step above Pawnee, if you ask her. The ones there are only vaguely threatening. Either way, she'll just stick to the network for now.]
Network | Video
[Still sort of out of breath from putting in actual effort at you know, anything, April takes to the airwaves from the relative safety of her own desk chair, legs crossed and spinning idly as she speaks.]
Sup, Wonderland? So, uh, anyone else almost get eaten today, or was that just me?
Network
Eaten? What? Is it Saturday already?
[He wipes the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, pistol still in his hand.]
Glad it seems you handled it so effortlessly.
no subject
Effortlessly, are you kidding me? You usually couldn't pay me to run that fast. [She knows she got lucky. Like, really lucky.] How'd you get your ass kicked if you have a gun, anyway?
[Polite as ever. Because she's totally in a position to judge.]
no subject
[It is enough to get a tight smile from him, though he rolls his eyes as she goes on.]
Well, one? It was more distraction at first to make sure another was safe. [And to make sure they didn't end up with zombie monsters and he didn't have a dead girl.] Two?
[He tilts the fun at the ceiling and pulls the trigger.
Click.]
I ran out of ammo.
no subject
Excuses, excuses. [Her sarcasm often doesn't go over well, but that's never stopped her before.] Maybe you should have brought more ammo.
[So helpful.] What did that, anyway? Another giant rat?
no subject
Yeah well, I try and only sleep with one clip and I got cut off from my arsenal.
[He snorts, shaking his head.] I wish. I ended up with a damn centipede thing.
no subject
[Yeah, she's fucking weird? Have fun with that. And all the nonsense shit talking.] Well, there's your problem. Sleeping with only one clip? What is this, amateur hour?
[Her eyes widen] Lucky. That's so much cooler. I wonder which one would win in a fight.
no subject
[And he can admit she might be, all things considered.]
Hey! I'm a damn bank robber, not a fucking monster hunter. [He makes a face though, looking irritated as fuck in that moment.] At least not until recently.
Well, if the rat isn't dead, I can probably lead one to the other. [Cause he kinda wants to know.]
no subject
Hold on... a bank robber? [April doesn't look this impressed that often, so he better soak it up. Suddenly, she's a lot more interested.] How many banks have you robbed? How much money did you steal? Did you ever have to kill anyone?
[She looks off camera, over to her door. Her tone turns much more serious.] Sadly, it was the latest victim of police brutality.
no subject
[Over a year in Wonderland and Seth is just at the point of forgetting he shouldn't be honest about his crimes or what he's been through. That not everyone will believe it. Even here in Wonderland.
Though he hadn't expected that reaction and he kind of smiles.]
It's what we did for fun and profit. Close to three dozen since we started focusing on it. Millions, including a full shipment of bearer bonds that were irreplaceable and priceless. And yes.
[Mostly as they held the secret of letting culebra rule the earth.]
Well that's a shame. Could have made a profit on the betting on that fight.
no subject
[She lets out a dramatic sigh.] I guess we'll never know.
no subject
[He makes a face then.]
Things that will probably eventually hunt you here one day. [Not mentioning the Texas Ranger. Nope, never mention that.] So far though we've been lucky enough that most of them are kidnap victims like the rest of us. Same with zombies and other beings that we share space with.
A
Her gun is already out, so it only takes a split second to fire a couple well-aimed rounds and the scary rodent monster is dealt with. She keeps her gun out, lowering it as she moves to the door and knocks on it gently. ]
Hey, it's okay now. Are you hurt?
no subject
No, I'm ok. [She opens the door a little wider, peering out at the bleeding rat corpse and actually looking impressed for once in her life.]
That was pretty cool of you. [She steps back, gesturing for the other woman to come inside. Who knew if that thing had friends? The racoons in Pawnee always seemed to travel in packs. Her room is basic- she's obviously a pretty recent arrival.] Where'd you get the gun?
no subject
She slips into the room, holstering her gun as she does so and then making sure the door is secure behind her. Chances are that thing wasn't alone and if that is what the rodent size looks like? She isn't particularly excited about coming across anything bigger. ]
Uh, a friend gave it to me when I got here. You can get them out of the closets, too, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you know how to use one.
no subject
[She nods in understanding. She doesn't know a lot about guns, but she knows that much.] I mean, I grew up in a small town in Indiana, so... [Because that means... anything...] I could probably handle myself if I really had to. [Where's Ron when you need him?]
no subject
Let me guess... Pawnee?
[ It could be a coincidence but Wonderland doesn't really do coincidences, does it? ]
How about I give you a few tips instead. We might come back from the dead here but I really don't recommend it to begin with, plus accidentally shooting yourself will be kind of embarrassing.
no subject
Well, that would be embarrassing. [April can't help but look a little skeptical. Strangers giving a crap is always cause for concern, but she seems nice enough.] You'd really do that?
no subject
[ And they sure did make an impression on each other, and Chloe is pretty sure Leslie is not a fan of hers. ]
Definitely. I'm a cop back home. The last thing I want is someone who doesn't know how to use a firearm waving one around. [ Plus... She genuinely gives a crap. That's just how she is. ] I'm Chloe. You'll get settled in. The first six months I was here, my room looked like a discount suite at a Days Inn. You'll probably want something more, I don't know, homey sooner or later.
no subject
Well, I was planning on running around with a blindfold and a sawed-off, but if you're a cop I guess I'll wait until later. [She smirks, but the mention of anything homey just makes her miss Andy.] That's a nice thought, but the only things that would make this feel like home are my husband and my dog. I don't really need anything else.
no subject
[ How was she supposed to know that a miniature horse and a pony were two different things??? ]
I have a kid back home, so I get it. [ She offers her a sympathetic smile. That was certainly a huge factor in why it took her so long to accept being in Wonderland. ] It doesn't get better but you, I don't know... You get used to it.
no subject
That's gotta be rough. [She returns Chloe's smile with a soft and somewhat sad one of her own, and she picks at imaginary lint on her pants.] I guess I'll have to. It's not like we've never been apart.
no subject
[ What is with this town and the damn horse????????
SHE DOESN'T GET IT. ]
Luckily, this place keeps us busy enough that you won't have a lot of time to dwell on it. Half the time it's one of the Queens throwing a party and the other half is... You know, this. [ She gestures at the door. ]
no subject
Sounds like a blast. [Her words positively drip with sarcasm as they often do, but she's at least mildly intrigued.] Which queen throws better parties?
no subject
[ Ignore her, April, she's just mad because she didn't get a new arrival gift basket. ]
Uh, the Red Queen I guess? But it helps that she throws more parties and she doesn't hate us like the Queen of Hearts. [ Chloe tilts her head. ] Although, the Queen of Hearts is gone now and we have the White Queen, and she hasn't thrown any parties yet. She did redecorate the Mirror side though.
